China-Sensitive Commodities

As one of the largest economies in the world, China’s success or failure impacts the entire global economic infrastructure. After more than a decade of outstanding double digit GDP growth figures, China has finally begun the long wind-down from those unsustainable highs to settle into a more stable and conservative growth rate. This year, annual GDP growth is expected to be around 7% – down from 7.4% in 2014 and 7.7% in 2013 – marking it as the slowest expansion in 25 years.
